Such ponds are probably important for mammals, but the 

 only observations are indirect — from tracks left in the 

 soft sand. Raccoon ( Procyon lotor ) , White-tailed Deer 

 ( Odocoileus virginianus ) , and Otter ( Lutra canadensis) 

 are the only mammals that I have seen utilizing the ponds. 



Following is a list of vertebrates that have been 

 seen using these upland ponds.
